I held many ripple at the beginning of my crypto adventure but listening to all of the "experts" out there and disregarding my own research I believed it would never rise in value and the research I had done was unfounded. Needless to say within a month of selling it excelled well over 10 x my original purchasing price and although I had invested much of it in ETH taht also rose I would have been a lot more crypto rich staying with ripple. I now only hold a small bag of my original holding but with the determination of the team and constant partnerships I honestly think ripple will do well. Especially if banks profit as many of the banks "influence" where customers invest their money and if crypto is to keep gaining traction we will see a lot more money enter XRP.
